Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 707 - 320: Peaceful Town Visited by the God (Part 3)

The Sea God hesitated for a moment, then said in surprise, "Me? Are you sure?"

Currently, the Eternal Light Church has taken an absolute leading position. As long as Wu Chang wishes, he can operate as a monotheistic church and monopolize all the faith.

Wu Chang said, "There is so much faith that we can’t consume it all. You just need to help stabilize the church when we leave and occasionally showcase miracles. How does that sound?"

The Sea God hesitantly agreed after a symbolic pause.

Both Wu Chang and the Sea God were very satisfied with this cooperation; it was a win-win.

The Sea God could bask in the popularity of the Eternal Light Church, gaining the Power of Faith, while Wu Chang required only a small amount of Wish Power to find a loyal protector dragon.

Although the Sea God couldn’t defeat him and Erin, as an original God, he was more than enough to deal with most players.

With him defending the Silent Route Dungeon, it would be impregnable. Whether the dungeon undergoes changes or someone wants to cause trouble, they have to deal with the Sea God first.

Moreover, besides being a guardian, the Sea God could also perform miracles to preach for the Eternal Light Church, adding more value without an extra cost.

After brief discussions, both parties finalized how the Sea God would use miracles to transfer his allegiance from Tan Jun to Erin. With details settled, Wu Chang smoothly brought up the matter of the Evil God Remains.

He needed more information on the Evil God Remains and was planning to head to the Peaceful Town Plane with Erin.

Rich but not returning home is like wearing brocade clothes at night.

Erin was once used as a tool by the national church of the Ogre Kingdom, her life and will completely controlled by the church, like a puppet on strings.

Now Erin has become a Powerful Angel, able to reveal her True Divine Body in the Desolate Realm. This time, she intends to settle the score.

Erin is kind-hearted and might not care, but Wu Chang certainly does.

Without seeking an explanation from the Ogre Kingdom, Erin as a Powerful Angel would become an "Impotent" Angel.

Besides helping Erin demand justice, Wu Chang also remembered the mysterious presence hidden in the deep sea around Briff Island.

That presence is the source of the Ocean Race Transformation, and when Wu Chang first acquired it, he was tempted by whispers urging him to dive into the depths.

Most likely, the things in the deep sea of Peaceful Town are of the same origin as the Evil God Remains in the Shipwreck Belt.

Yet what lies beneath Peaceful Town may not have encountered the manifestation of Martial Star Monarch, nor been suppressed for thousands of years.

To confront that thing, meticulous preparation is needed.

Regarding the Evil God Remains, the Sea God has guarded the Shipwreck Belt for a thousand years; no one in the Desolate Realm understands the Evil God Remains better than him. Before Wu Chang leaves, he naturally seeks guidance.

Realizing Wu Chang and Erin’s destination might contain another piece of the Evil God Remains, the Sea God immediately divulged the information about the Evil God Remains.

"I’ve personally experienced that monster’s attacks and witnessed the scenes of the Gods battling it."

"From my observations, its physical body is strong but very cautious. Faced with the Gods’ statues’ retaliatory combat style, it always actively avoids confrontation."

"Its mind is fragile; each time the Gods use Divine Power to intimidate, it gets caught and falls into brief chaos."

"The most noteworthy point is, if the Evil God Remains you are facing is intact and hasn’t engaged in battle, it will be accompanied by a large number of giant fishmen and small octopus-headed monsters. When it encounters life-threatening situations, it will also summon a yellow monster projection for assistance."

"The final yellow monster projection is challenging, capable of controlling fierce winds, with combat power no less than the Evil God Remains itself. When the Gods first encountered it, they were ambushed and severely injured, making subsequent battles difficult."

Wu Chang noted the information shared by the Sea God, especially about the yellow monster projection summoned at last.

Capable of harming the Martial Star Monarch statue, it might hurt him too. Relying on Titan’s effects without caution could cost him dearly.

Perhaps to eliminate the Evil God’s remains, or to please his new boss, the Sea God concluded his intelligence sharing by extracting a miniature 30-centimeter dragon horn from his chest.

The dragon horn was hollowed out and sealed with a large pearl at its base, turning it into a special container.

He said, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re against the Evil God Remains because of the Deep Sea Alien Species bloodline within you."

"It was crafted from my shed dragon horn, able to store the most refined flesh blood essence of the ocean species. Given your current bloodline strength, solely relying on the Evil God Remains won’t further enhance it. You can first store the essence of the Evil God Remains within and use it when the opportunity arises."

Wu Chang took the dragon horn and expressed his gratitude.

Just for this dragon horn alone, the Sea God deserved a "salary" from him.

With everything prepared, Wu Chang instructed the Sea God to watch over Gao Mu Country, while he and Erin returned to the Tan Mountain Cave, setting off for Peaceful Town.

Wu Chang channeled his consciousness into the Tree of Miracles, enabling it to extend through the tree’s canopy and roots.

There were two particularly thick root systems of the Miracle Pillar, and he located the one leading to Peaceful Town. His consciousness followed it down, leaving the Silent Route Plane into Peaceful Town.

"Player is entering the Desolate—86951 Plane via the Divine Kingdom passage."

"Notice that the current dungeon will be considered a faith dungeon. Upon entering, the time flow between the faith dungeon and reality is 15:1. Each day spent in the dungeon will cost 300 Rotten Silver Coins. If the balance is insufficient, the player will be forcibly ejected from the dungeon plane."

Wu Chang looked at the prompt and couldn’t help but click his tongue; indeed, this unconventional method of faith dungeon has imposed more restrictions than previous dungeons.

The time flow went from 1440:1 to 15:1, making it far less effective than previous dungeons for grinding skill proficiency, and the daily stay cost rising from 100 to 300.

This confirmed one thing for Wu Chang: the Peace Church, able to cause trouble in various planes, certainly wasn’t lacking in funds.

As his consciousness approached the root system’s end, his vision blurred, and he was already back at the ruins of the Count’s Manor on Briff Island.

Precisely speaking, it’s the ruins of the Count’s Manor.

He and Erin barely had time to observe their surroundings when Wu Chang detected an unusual scent in the air.

He smelled a salty odor, more pungent than when Briff Island locals transformed into fishmen.

Additionally, his title as a Blasphemer reacted, indicating traces of divinity amidst the Count’s Manor ruins.

Something from the depths brought divine presence here and has just recently departed.

Could it be that the creature from the deep sea couldn’t wait anymore and wants to come ashore?
